One of Universal's wartime musicals: little story, wall to wall musical acts, plenty of talent. I recognised some songs in this one, notably 'You Made Me Love You' and 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen'.
There's Henry James the bandleader the guy who married Betty Grable, singing cowboy Dick Foran. The plot has James and Foran join the army and Foran's got a big head. That's about it.
Donald O'Connor has a cameo as a kid who also tries to join but is too young - he returns to take part in a number (I think he was part of the Jivin jacks and Jills at this stage). The Andrews Sisters sing some songs. Joe E. Lewis is in it as is Mary Wicks and Shemp Howard.
Some patriotic singing like 'We've got a job to do' as the troops go off at the end. Just wants to entertain.
